Starting point is 00:00:00 There is something quite noticeable happening with the moon right now, especially if you're someone who likes to tune in to lunar cycles. Fucking shattered. I feel that I've been run over. I've been so tired. Did kind of put that down to Sunday evening. I've still been putting mine down to Friday doing 25,000 days. Message from Samantha.
Starting point is 00:00:43 Thought of you this morning. when I type this into chat GPT about the moon, I know I've used a huge amount of water asking this question, but I needed a quick answer as I feel so flat, it's unreal. And yes. I need to remember to do stuff like this when I feel like this because I cannot put my finger on it. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:01:01 I feel like I've got the, my shoulders feel so heavy. You've got the weight of the world on the shoulders. I have. I feel flawed. Yeah, I've been extremely tired. And actually, since I was at Mums on last Thursday, And I said, Mom, I can't move. Yeah, remember you saying that?
Starting point is 00:01:17 I feel exa. And there was no reason then. Absolutely drained. It's the moon. Full moon. Full moon now, this weekend. Tomorrow, actually. This goes out Friday.
Starting point is 00:01:27 So Friday it goes. But we should all feel lighter and more energized by the 1st of September. Which is when? Monday. Okay. So Sunday, you're coming around for a roast. Is that correct? It is.
Starting point is 00:01:41 I am so excited about doing my first row. What meat? Whatever you want. Excellent. Beef. Beef. When I tell you Sunday. You're fucking alcoholic.
Starting point is 00:01:57 I cooked the most amazing bit of steak. Quite hammered. Intoxicated. It was a bone-in sirloin. How good was it? It was really good. I mean, when I say like the most powerful. Perfect pink in the middle, but no blood.
Starting point is 00:02:17 And then she, like, just how Nat liked it. You did a chimitoury, which was beautiful. How nice is it? Unbelievable. Natalie in the morning was like, I had to brush my teeth for about 10 minutes because it's the garlic. I woke up, I was like, it was unreal. Oh, it sounds good. It was excellent.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Oh, damn. It was very, very good. What was more excellent is I am, unfortunately, getting older and growing up, and I got to a point and I was like, oh, I'm boozy now. I felt tipsy. Six points of water later. And woke up right as rain. Stop drinking.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Wow. Yeah, no, I didn't feel terrible. But I was like, come on, Joan, let's play Uno. I was so excited to play Uno. And then we got halfway through a game. She was like, I'm tired, I'm going to bed. So then we just carried on playing. We did play Uno for a while.
Starting point is 00:03:09 I did think you sound a bit tipsy in the video you sent me. Yeah, we were. John, he was cracking me up. But yeah, no, that was, yeah, you've got to do beef, really. Definitely. Yes, we will. cauliflower cheese. If you're doing it, I think you've got to go in.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Yeah, we can do it. Honey roast carrots with your lovely carrots. I'm going to do a hot wait to use those. Why don't you do some parsnips next year? I'd love to do some past nips. Oh. Not for dinner. It's for dinner next.
Starting point is 00:03:38 You know, that date we're coming around next October. Yeah, that'd like to do a lot more food. next year. You don't use parsnips a lot. I do in the winter. I eat more parsuits and potatoes. But where are you keeping these? Freeze them, blanche them, freeze them.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Oh, yeah. I'm going to do that tonight with the carrots. That's my evening. Well, no, but you've got to keep the veg. Well, no, but if you plant them later, as you've said, and you start picking them October, it's the end of September, I think you'll be all right. It's good. To me, like I know what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Well, yeah, I'm not even sure when they get picked, but yes, I would like to do. so. I think that's why people have like greenhouses and things. I'm going to get a greenhouse. Where? To put where? I don't know. I need them.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Like she was going to get a swimming pool this year, everyone. No, but that's a very different thing. The hottest summer we've had and zero. Lucky you didn't because we haven't been here once for a sunny day. When we say swimming pool, by the way, I did mean one, you know, on poles. It's not a big pool. Paddling pool that stays up throughout the summer. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Yeah. That didn't happen. It didn't. No, you're getting the greenhouse. Oh, we've all been away a lot. Same with the aircon. I mean, it's just... It's just gone very quick.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Isn't it flown? But I do think... Has it flown? I think as well, it's because... I know it's irrelevant for me because I don't have children at school, but I still feel the impact because I... To holidays.
Starting point is 00:05:02 But it's also because the weather's been nice. So it's very easy for people to just go to a park or... I think when the weather's shit and you've been sat in all day or you're thinking I have to plan. a day, it makes it go a bit slower. But people are just getting out. And it has been particularly busy.
Starting point is 00:05:20 It's been busy. We have. But I think everyone I speak to, like my friends are like, it's gone quite quick. Really. Because again, they just can get up and have a couple of hours at home and go to another park for a couple of hours. And that sort of breaks the day up. Whereas when it's pissing down with rain, like it normally is, you're sort of sat
Starting point is 00:05:37 inside thinking of things to do. I think it's different for me because this is really the first summer where I feel like I've been around, properly around. Yeah, yeah. So it feels long. But you've had a lot of, really? Yeah. And you've had two holidays?
Starting point is 00:05:51 Yeah, but I feel like it's gone on forever. Really? Yeah, it's been amazing. I can't, oh, I can't believe. I'm now ready, ready for some routine, ready for the children to go back. Me too. I know I've said it before, but fucking, I went to the park today. Just kids everywhere.
Starting point is 00:06:07 It's summer holidays. I know, go back to school. Poor little James is like trying to jump on this thing, this big kid, just like, Comes past, I'm like, I'm fucking knock you out. I know you shouldn't, but it is annoying. No, I know, but it's just like, I'm like, just chill out a minute. You're going to get your time back. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:06:25 I know I sort of panicked just, I was like, shit, I haven't paid for school swimming. Then I had to order towels, swimming hats. I haven't ordered their cardigans and their jumpers. Yeah, I did that. I did that yesterday. That stuff I understand, but it is funny when every. you go into any shop now, it's like, whoa, stationary, bang, in your face. Is it essential that every year you have to buy all new stationary?
Starting point is 00:06:52 Yeah. Is it, though? Or is that Joni's only got to have stationary from this year? Yeah, I don't think mine needed, but I still buy them. Well, I don't really, not Ruby, but Alfie, I bought him a Spurs pencil case. Yeah, but that was a birthday present. But I do feel like you get this thing of, oh, I should get them a new this and that. That's because it's in the shop.
Starting point is 00:07:10 It's, yeah, it's marketing, isn't it? And also, their tastes do change. Yes You know, they're into one thing The next year they're not But what do they need it for? Like you said Joanie, does Joanie take a pencil case?
Starting point is 00:07:20 She has done in the past But she doesn't need But this year she needs a case With things in it Does she? Yes And she's going into year six Correct
Starting point is 00:07:28 So she hasn't had a need Because they get their pens, pencils, rubbers She has a little case With a few bits in it But I haven't done it Every year No
Starting point is 00:07:38 I've done a new pencil case She always has a new bag though Yeah And I haven't done that yet Because it only because it gets battered. It is battered. The Alfie's in mint condition and actually he could still have his.
Starting point is 00:07:49 But you just feel like, I can go to school with the same bag. No, he can. He definitely can. He's got a spurs one now. Oh, so he can have a spurs one? Yeah. Well, he doesn't have to have a school one. No, he had a book bag and even last year he had his Minecraft backpack.
Starting point is 00:08:05 So they don't have to have the school thing, you know that way? No, Ruby will. Ruby still will have that. Why? I don't know. I just do it in. For the little ones, yeah. Oh, I thought they had to have the school one until, like, forever.
Starting point is 00:08:18 No, they try and, they say in the younger years because there's not as much room in the classrooms, put it on the pegs. But I think as they go up, that all changes, so there's a bit more room. I mean, Alfie's got, you'll have a swimming bag, a school bag, a football bag, it's mad, pee bag. It's ridiculous. Yeah, just trying to remember. What's different bits and pieces, bring up? Clim souls.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Yeah, wait till they're in secondary school and you need to make sure they've packed their books. I do you remember doing that? Well, now it's a laptop. There's only probably for Eliza maths and history she has a book. Is that in every school? Most schools, yeah. Well, they give them a laptop?
Starting point is 00:08:54 Yeah. Really? Yes. Wow. Every school. Oh, fuck me. We're not every. Most schools.
Starting point is 00:09:04 State schools, I can't imagine. They do. Oh, they do it all on their phones or tablets. All their homework. In state schools, they all come home with a laptop. I don't believe that. I don't know whether they have to buy it or they do. It's all done.
Starting point is 00:09:17 They don't know. And Eliza, isn't it funny? The lesson she enjoys most, which she doesn't even realize it correlates, maths and history she loves and she likes a book, she likes writing down. So I think that we're missing a trick there. That is a bit mad. I get it for certain things, but. Can someone listen, can you confirm that for us?
Starting point is 00:09:40 I'm not saying it's every school. But there are lots and lots and lots of schools. Definitely around here. People I know, they do it all on their phone, home up on their phones. You know, I don't like that. Well, that's the world we're living in, honey. Yeah, I do think that is. Oh, dear.
Starting point is 00:09:54 So what's the point of them learning to write? Well, it's a basic skill that you need to learn to write. But it's not... You don't really need it anymore. No, you don't. But also, if you need to write a birthday card and you don't know how to write... All right, Tone. No, all right, there's things
Starting point is 00:10:14 What, give me one Write an address on an envelope Because you're sending something No, what you don't say What'd you send? What are you sending? You're not sending anything You're not sending anything.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Guys, can you chill the fuck out? There will be things that you need to write Give it to me You fill out of form When you're in a waiting room for something No, it's all on iPads Wow No, I've done some paper ones
Starting point is 00:10:33 Well, they need to get iPads Oh, I've done things Well, when I went from my MRI It was all on paper, It was all on paper, it wasn't an iPad You're just ticking a few boxes If you don't know how to write You don't have to do it to do it
Starting point is 00:10:43 No you know no no Listen I'm with you It is a skill that I want people to write letters I love writing I've got a diary I'm not I hate the computer Yeah I do see if I'm writing a list
Starting point is 00:10:56 I like to I do I do do it on my phone Because I think of it when I'm out But I like to I do like to write I still write on my calendar Yeah I still can't do the phone calendar No I'm on the phone
Starting point is 00:11:07 Are you? Calendar Yeah Because I've bought them before. I just don't. I write in it after the event just to fill it up. No, I like to have the whole month in front of me. But again, when I'm busy, what's happening?
Starting point is 00:11:18 In time, I think I will need that when it's a lot of school things. But for me, yeah, I'd use my phone. But writing, come on, there must be some more things. I don't know. I think it's... Birthday cards. I know you say Moon Peak, but majority of the time... People don't really send cards anymore.
Starting point is 00:11:38 It's an anomaly. What, people don't buy a card for their nephew. Yeah, but I'm saying like, but I know, that's basic right. I'm not saying you've got to write, but I'm saying that's basic. No, but that, you four and five, you are learning basic writing, aren't you? What are you talking about? You have to, if no one taught you how to do that, you wouldn't know how to do it. No, I'm not saying that, I'm saying, of course they don't need to know the basics,
Starting point is 00:11:59 but this whole back in the day, you're writing having to be perfect, you could only get pen when you used to write like this. Those don't, I'm so sorry. Those days are long gone, aren't they? What is that? My alarm. Christmas cards, people don't, I don't send them anymore. No.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Don't bother. What do you do? Four months the day. Four months the day. Well, not when this comes out, but since we're recorded on the 25th. Four months. Exciting. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:12:30 It's too quick. It's too soon. We've got ages. And do you know what? You say that. We're talking about going back to school and all that. We've still got a few days. I've still got a Christmas.
Starting point is 00:12:39 I've just present. So how about that one? Have you? Have you. Who for? Not telling. Why? Because.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Oh, boring. Got the first Christmas. I know it is a bit boring, but it feels like it's a long way away, but it isn't. Can we believe that James is going to be two? I can't believe it. In like six weeks' time. Yeah, it's crazy. It's really sad.
Starting point is 00:13:01 When you think about being pregnant on the pod, Lans right, I'd like that to stop now. Why? I want him to stay there now. Oh, no. To who? Yeah, I'd like him to stay there. That feels like... It's nice.
Starting point is 00:13:14 It's a nice age. Three's nice, four's not. I mean, seven is freak out. Seven is... He's so cute. Yeah, he's so cute. I feel like he's getting so grown up. He is so grown up.
Starting point is 00:13:26 He is like, yeah, both of them. I feel like Alfie was younger at five than what Ruby is. Definitely. But that's a way... That's why I get where I get earlier. But when I think of them when they're... I mean, it feels like forever ago. Seven.
Starting point is 00:13:42 No, I think as well, it's just because when we were doing the pod and I was pregnant, I don't know, I sort of have that thing. Yeah, of course. And it's just mad that we're there already. Time flies. Absolutely shocker. Yeah, they're going into year three and year one. I have got the girls tomorrow for a sleepover.
Starting point is 00:14:01 You do. Oh, excellent. Are we doing something? No. Oh, was you going to let me know? Yeah, so sorry. Just remembered. I'll talk to you about that.
Starting point is 00:14:09 But yes, I'm looking forward to that as well. Well, I had Amelia sleep over on Saturday. Yes. And they topped and tailed. Were they as good as gold? Good as gold. I mean, we went to bed quite late. Where are they going to sleep?
Starting point is 00:14:22 With Johnny? No? All the best. They'll be fine. Yeah, we had a bit of a late night because I wanted to watch a film. We watched like 20 minutes and they were like falling asleep. Yeah, I won't be getting in his bed, don't they? They can just have a nice late night we're made tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:14:36 And that means when they get into bed, they're gone and they will sleep. No, they were good. There's gold. Oh, nice. Is Joni excited? Yes. Yeah, it's cute. It will be nice.
Starting point is 00:14:44 I think I'm going to take them for a bit of dinner. Why can I take them? Anywhere, baby. I might come. Yeah. Please do. I'll let you know. I need to talk to you both.
Starting point is 00:14:59 I want to apologise for how much I ever go at you about being on your phone playing games. Hmm. Because I've found a game. It's so good. What is it? Bubble World Jam. How good is it? How long have you been playing it?
Starting point is 00:15:15 Cat is, I've got Cat hooked. Oh, so good. It's unbelievable. But I haven't, I'm currently playing. Tadda! What level are you on? I can't believe it. I haven't played it as much as probably you two because I still am obsessed with the other game.
Starting point is 00:15:30 No, but I'm not playing it. I'm only on level 16. Oh, boring. What are you on? 104. What? My whole holiday, Maria. I was obsessed with it.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Wow, welcome to our world. I'm only on level... Sorry, I'm in some sort of competition. I'm only level 33 because I'm currently obsessed with busch traffic fever. So I have to sort of give most of my time to that. Do you know what one that is when you put the car in our? I had a man on the aeroplane and I didn't know.
Starting point is 00:16:03 So I'm sat on the aeroplane and this man was, I'd say, late 50s, early 60s, for the whole duration of the around a 50 minute flight. He was playing that game. Is that why you downloaded it? Do you not need... No, the bus thing. Oh, my one.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Because Joni went, that's the game Ellie plays. Do you not need internet? Mine you do, which is annoying. Yeah, no, I don't think you do. The ads annoy me, though. Every time I get the pop-up to pay for the no ads, I think, oh, I really want to do it. Five moves left.
Starting point is 00:16:32 But that's how I've got into that, because that game that we played, all the ads come up, and you're like, oh, I don't like that. And you want to see the adverts you get on these. There's one where it's like a picture. No, and you've got to press the colour bubbles and you've got to press the... Oh, or the arrow one.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Do you ever get that one? No, I'll tell you what I got on holiday which was very deeply disturbing. Oh, the kid. With the mum. And she's got burnt eyes and they're... And the mum walks in with the baby and there's a bra that falls down
Starting point is 00:17:00 and the dad's there and so she leaves the dad and then it's freezing cold. And it's like, pick your decision and she's like, or the old couple sitting in the chair. Do you put the fire in? You close the window? What do you do? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Some of them ones. I like the one with the, like, Bunts and Burner bottles where you have to, like, put the colours. I have seen that, a test tube thing. Yeah. Or there's a wall one. It's like a wall and you have to click and it's like a corn. No, fuck all that. I have to be honest, no.
Starting point is 00:17:29 No, but the worst thing is I'm on the ads and I'm playing the ads. Yeah, same. And then before I know, I'm like, and then you've downloaded it. Oh, you're black, yeah. And then you've downloaded it ice. No, for me, this is unbelievable. There are words I don't know. I have to come off and I have to look them up.
Starting point is 00:17:44 What about when the words are split and you have to them? Yeah, that's good. That's all right. That's good. But how was your holiday? It was lovely. We had a lovely time. Did you play bubble word jam the whole time? Yes, I did.
Starting point is 00:17:55 It was lovely. Really, really nice. Lovely weather. And you went for quite a long time? Nine days. Long enough? Could have done more days. Really?
Starting point is 00:18:03 Yeah. Wow. But you said you were ready to come home. I was ready to come home, but I still think you could do that those two travel days. Yeah. you could do like nine days there. How is the flight? Two hour, 50 minutes.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Oh, nothing. Nothing at all. No, but still, what time are you getting there? By the time you get from the, you've losing that day. We were five minutes from the airport. Oh, no. Which was unbelievable. And again, I know, interesting that.
Starting point is 00:18:26 I wonder what people would think about the flight path. Because obviously the planes are very low. But it doesn't bother me. Does it not? Does it not bother. In terms of being in my villa. Constant aeroplanes going over your head. But it wasn't because it's such a small airport.
Starting point is 00:18:39 there's probably 12 flights I don't even think but I love the fact I love being near the end of all I love that I was like Santorini literally 10 minutes away It is lovely being close
Starting point is 00:18:52 When you get there You're like an hour and a half To your head No not for me I like being close It doesn't bother that No I think we're at worst about 45 But you're going to have that
Starting point is 00:19:03 When you're going somewhere It's different Yeah absolutely But no if I really enjoyed it And there is a lovely little Patreon holiday spesh because me and Mark did a few little recordings. So I'll be out next week. We never do that, do we?
Starting point is 00:19:18 No. It's very different though when it's calm. Yeah, it's true. We get up. Something else I wanted to talk to you about. Does it mean I'm unhappy at home? But on a holiday, I am up at the crack of dawn. Can't wait to get up like a child.
Starting point is 00:19:33 So excited. Yeah, but it's a different out there. Is that different environment? It's a whole different environment. You're going to sit round the pool. You want to make the most of your days. It's not like you're getting up to do a school run, do washing, do a food shop. But they're saying that in Santorini, some mornings, I was waking up at like 9, half 9.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Breakfast in bed, got up at like half 10. So it was quite nice actually to do the leisurely thing. And I feel like you have to rush around or make the most of the sun or it was just, yeah. So I think, yeah, it's both. It's just something I love about everyone being asleep on holiday and get up. and doing your bit, having your little minute. But even that, I don't drink coffee. I was getting up using the coffee machine.
Starting point is 00:20:14 It's funny, isn't it? Like completely different. Sitting just having 10 minutes apiece with a coffee. Oh, that's nothing better. All you need those are fag? Yeah, that would just be like, I did nearly buy some, but I don't really enjoy them. No, you won't enjoy it.
Starting point is 00:20:31 You did it in Italy, and you were like, bleh. I know. When? In Italy. Dom's wedding. Oh, yeah, I remember that. And it was absolutely horrendous. But yeah, I'd enjoy myself.
Starting point is 00:20:42 We went to All Points East on Friday. It was so good. Yeah, it's such a good time, didn't we? Oh, the festival. Sorry, yeah. Good time. There was a dust warning. Dust, dust.
Starting point is 00:20:52 And every time we said about it, everyone was going, Dust, anybody knew dust. There was a dust warning. Right. And what did that mean? It meant that sort of we couldn't breathe by the end of the night, the next morning. The next day, we were very chesty.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Kate still can't speak. Her whole voice has gone. gone, felt like I'd smoked about 60,000 vogue in a day, just sort of dust coming out of every orifice nose is. I got home, I had dust resting on my cheap boat. I looked like I'd been. Throughout the day, we'd sort of look at someone and go, oh, your tash, just literally dark, black.
Starting point is 00:21:30 I first noticed it. I had a bit of a runny nose. I went to toilet. I went like that. And I was like, oh, my God, what is this? And then I looked at my white vest top. Honestly, so I was wearing high-wasted trousers, unlike now. So you can't stand up a minute.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Elias sat with a vest-up and knickers on. I'm sweating and I was going to put these shorts on, but now I'm not keeping them, so I just decided to go commando. No, I have got knickers on. It's like locked down all over again. So I had the high-wasted shorts on. So half of my top was brand-new white vest-top pristine. the other half black.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Did you throw it away? It's all bubbled. Really bad quality. I'm sorry. Where's it from? Next. 20 quid though for a vest top. When I'm talking, this is a Zara one, maybe 14 pounds.
Starting point is 00:22:24 I'm not happy. All of them have done it. All bubbled more than once. We should take them back. They're very good next. No, they've said to take them in on that. I'm obsessed with buying vest tops. All I do every hour goes, just buy a vest top.
Starting point is 00:22:36 I think it's because I'm not. on a vest top for about approximately 12 years. Now I can sort of wear them. I just buy them. Every time I see one, I went in Tesco the other day. I was like,
Starting point is 00:22:47 that's lovely bought one. M&S. Oh, lovely bought one. Zara, vest top. It's interesting because you made me sort of go on to the vest tops. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:22:56 Oh, because I don't like my arms. No, but I think you just need to get over it. I'm wearing the vest top. Just wear the vest top. Don't worry about it. Sweating, actually. I'm so hot. It's so warm in here.
Starting point is 00:23:07 I take this off. Sorry, yeah, all points deep. Then there was, on TikTok, we saw there was an actual dust warning out. And that's why people wearing masks or scarves around their face. We were a bit like, what's going on here? Why has everyone got scarf around them? We did 25,000 steps. Lovely.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Which I was absolutely buzzing about. Very good. We managed to see all the acts we wanted to see. I went a lone ranger to one of them. And guys, if you ever get the opportunity to go and see DJ EZ perform live. Elia's falling in love. It was unreal and he is so cool. I'm obsessed.
Starting point is 00:23:44 We saw some artists that Elia was shocked because she didn't think that that was the artist. Well, it was expecting. It was funny. And we got to see our all-time faith, Thames. Yes. To loose ends. It's one of my favourite songs.
Starting point is 00:23:59 We did well. We did well. We did FaceTime in Eliza. She loved every second of it. Fantastic. But yeah, Thames was funny time, did me. Thames was sensational. And Dave come on.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Fantastic. And I led you a message earlier in the group being like, do you reckon Dave will come on? I was like, absolutely not. And these people were like, no. And then he came out. Oh, it was, yeah, it was really good. What about when we went to buy a bottle of wine?
Starting point is 00:24:21 Ah. What happened? So we'd put it to VIP. Always us. I had little wine and champagne cart. So we were like buzzing. Cue up, go there. My friend Victoria, I'm like, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:24:32 What's taking? You're there. You're at the front. I've gone for a way, I've gone back. They haven't got a bottle opener. Sorry? Oh, shut up. How much was the Provence, Rose?
Starting point is 00:24:44 It was quite expensive. It was like 60 quid. And this lady... But obviously, they're all... All the drinks are so much more in these places, aren't they? Of course. I mean, the price of these drinks. Some of it.
Starting point is 00:24:55 I couldn't get over it. No corkscrew. Are they going to sell the wine? No, they were searching. The lady in front had ordered it, paid for it, So she just got the bottle standing and then he was like, it's getting warm, your wine? She went in, I've just told them to get me a knife and a fork
Starting point is 00:25:09 and I saw it out when you're wetted ourselves. She was like, this stu-old. I said, I think you need to tell them that you'll just take a bottle of the champagne instead because they're taking a long time. Anyway, then a few hours later, we thought, yeah, we'll have another wine. No, they found. Oh, they found out. Oh, they found one, one corkscrew found that I wear out what.
Starting point is 00:25:27 And then we go and get another province. We've run out. Bearing in mind, I know it's... But I did not see one other person drinking this. It's not like every other person is drinking it. Do we feel like the wine stand was maybe a first try? No, I went before a few years ago and it was there, although I did get champagne.
Starting point is 00:25:49 But all right, fucking bully for you. Run out of Provence. I mean, how many bottles could you have... They must not have... On the specials as well. Shampals? It was a shambles. Shambles.
Starting point is 00:26:03 And then sort of, I don't know, there was a little situation in front of us where somebody ordered a glass of prosceco. And she was pouring, I can't speak, Lauren Perrier. So I don't really know what was going on. And then the girl was going, no, just all, because then we were like, it doesn't, you couldn't get Lauren Perrier by the glass. Right. So then the girl behind her was that, but I'm confused.
Starting point is 00:26:25 It's not how much she went to start with the prosaico. So she's buying the prosceco and pouring Lauren Perrier. I don't know what was going on. That's where the staff don't know what they're doing and they're young. It was crazy. Yeah. Well, not even that. I just think it was the first day of the festival, was it?
Starting point is 00:26:40 Yeah, yeah. So maybe new staff that haven't done it before. Yeah, it was just crazy. That night, good fun. But yeah, a lot of walking and a lot of dust. Fucking lot of walking. I nearly wore my little mesh shoes. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:26:53 I put my trainers on. The trainer's covered in dust. Oh, yeah. My glasses were like, I couldn't even see it at one point. Because I've got no nails on at the moment, which is dreadful, but I'm waiting for holiday. My fingernails looked like I was like a 12-year-old boy that had been playing in the park. She looks like, I feel like Alfie. Yeah, like just all black.
Starting point is 00:27:14 I had to go home and get a brush, scrubbing brush and scrub them. Gosh. It was, yeah. Because of the drought. Yes, I understand. I see roundabouts, fields. Cracking roundabout outside the front of it, though. Go on, what was you going to say because of what?
Starting point is 00:27:31 The volume of people, like a stampede. I understand. Yeah? It was like being the air, Lion King and the Fassadais. Oh, that was a really weird. No. Na, see Ghania, si bagu, I did that once.
Starting point is 00:27:53 I know the actual words. Hanguenam and then when I'm a bala. Is that how it is? No. I did it. in my drama. We actually got the lyrics. I mean,
Starting point is 00:28:05 can you listen to this, please? Hi, Natalie. So this is just off the back of listening to your latest podcast with the nieces about watering stuff on a roundabout. So I've just literally driven past a man from the council watering the flowers on the roundabout with a hoist pipe. No. Even though he had a hosepipe ban, and he was from the council, which just made me really laugh.
Starting point is 00:28:36 So, yeah, there wasn't any grass on it, but there was a nice flower bed, which he was happily watering. Anyway, thanks for the laughs. It's Helen here calling from Hampshire. See you later. Thanks, Helen. But you just said it's flowers, though. I'm not talking about flowers. Okay, but they're still being fucking watered with a hosepipe.
Starting point is 00:28:53 But it's the, is that not okay? What is she talking about? Well, you have a hosepipe bag. It doesn't matter. Yeah, but maybe because they're like community flowers. Maybe. I'll open my back gate. I'll fucking bet you will.
Starting point is 00:29:09 There's no need for that sort of language. That's called it irrigation. Mine can be a community garden. I had some frenzy yesterday that was said when it. There was a little joke about a back door. Oh, it was excellent. She really set herself up for it. The problem is with this.
Starting point is 00:29:31 That is going to cost money. If the flowers die, they will all be redone. I understand. I'm not as about flowers, I'm about the grass. Well, it's all fucked. I don't really get it. I don't know what you're talking about. Look at Victoria Park.
Starting point is 00:29:45 They're not watering that, are they? But apparently that will grow back. Of course it will. What are you talking about? It's in the winter. No, I understand. I do understand. But my grass, that ain't happening to my grass.
Starting point is 00:29:57 It might do. It won't. As my mum said, it was fucked before this. Fair enough. Yeah, it's true. It's always been a bit fun. But why is that? So why is that not growing back?
Starting point is 00:30:06 Because sometimes there will be like, we have areas that Apache Jack will have to seed it. But overall, it's a bit like really looked after it. It's like watching Attenborough, isn't it? It all dries out and it all comes up. Yeah. It is. It's like having a flower that flowers once a year. And then it dies.
Starting point is 00:30:30 And it comes back. And then it comes back. Fantastic. Nature is incredible. No, I understand, but I'm telling you now, if I left my garden, that's not happening. Can I just say I'm looking at the monitor. Why is that happening there? It's just good in case it goes off and that.
Starting point is 00:30:48 I need to do that for professionalism. But may I just say, I am quite brown for me? No? I mean, I forgot how translucent you really are. So, yeah. No, you look well. Thank you. That's what the lady in Marxie said,
Starting point is 00:31:03 you look well, you've been away? I said, yes, I have. Why are you red though on your chest? What do you mean? Yeah, red. Always bit red. And on your cheeks. Maybe just flushed.
Starting point is 00:31:12 It's very warm in here. I'm sweating, actually. Yeah. No, you do look well. I said, you look well. Even Eliza look well. Brown. Mark look brown.
Starting point is 00:31:20 He goes brown, though, don't know. Yeah, Joanie. They've got cracking colour. Yeah, no. When you walked in on Sunday, I was like, oh, yeah. That's nice. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:31:28 I need to go and get them done. No, shit. quite a long while. Done well. I have. Talking about our nails, by the way. A couple of people
Starting point is 00:31:36 talking about the school holidays, but this one I loved. Someone just sent a message, Nico. He said, end of school holidays means a trip to Australia.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Three weeks out there for my son's wedding. School can fuck itself. The words of my 14-year-old son. There you go. Her son's wedding in Australia. Yeah. So what did you mean?
Starting point is 00:31:59 So what? I'm confused. Well, not the 14-year-old son. No, so what they're... People are set going back to school. Everyone's like, oh, we're getting prepared. They're off the holiday. No, I don't think that's what she's asking.
Starting point is 00:32:10 She's asking the sun's situation. No, so they're taking the sun out of school is what we're saying for every week. Well, I think for the son's wedding, so obviously they've got two sons. There's a valid... Really? Thank you. There's a valid reason, I think. That's cracking.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Good luck to him. Oh, that makes me feel a bit. What does it? I couldn't do it myself I would have to say You would if you had a week So if you had someone in Australia I'm too Minji Elyat
Starting point is 00:32:38 I couldn't do that for three weeks at the start of the new school term I genuinely could now If you had children of your age and I wish I did it more I didn't take them out for a day I know I do the odd day here and there I didn't do a day No but also there are some situation She's not going to miss her son's wedding
Starting point is 00:32:54 No I understand that and good luck to them I'm just saying I would That would give me the hebi-jeebies When I get their school report and I see 98% That makes me sweat I don't like that I like 100% that's what I'm there for Don't like it
Starting point is 00:33:07 I don't think it's that deep Well no it's not but I'm just like that's how it makes me feel better I think going around Don't like it Yeah travelling in what they're travelling The experiences you can see I get it I get it but also
Starting point is 00:33:20 And as a family It's not fair on everyone else that adheres to the rules No but I'm just saying for six weeks We have these times And you're going on holiday Or you're spending time of your kids And then we're just all like sheep and we go, oh, we're going back now,
Starting point is 00:33:35 the second of September and everyone goes back and we don't see our children because I just find the whole concept. The whole thing let people make their own choices. Yeah. I don't think you should have rules or be different. You do because some people take the piss. That's true.
Starting point is 00:33:51 And also that's their own children. No, I know, but also some children need to be in the system. And there needs to be rules. Yeah. And then you have the other end of the spectrum where people can't get their children to school and it's awful for them. This time of year is horrendous for them. No, no, look, you're never going to please everyone.
Starting point is 00:34:11 No. But there has to be a system because, yeah, otherwise if it was a free-for-all. No, I know. I'm sure. But it does, just sometimes I think, oh, if I did get a job in Ireland, then I should be able to say. Yeah, but you can do it. You have to pay the penalty.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Yeah. And just say, sorry, I'm moving. over there and they're going to be homeschooled for a bit. Yeah, but I think that's different. I mean, it's different at her. Elias's age is different now. We're talking about taking them out to homeschool. We're talking about taking them out on two week, three week holidays.
Starting point is 00:34:39 No, but if I had a job that was, say, three months in Ireland. I'm sure there are things around that. I'm sure there's loads of people that have to travel to work and their kids will be homeschooled or go to that school and that school. Yeah, I mean, I've got a friend who is basically living between here in another country and she's got the school here and the school in the, And obviously the other school she's paying for because that's the way it works
Starting point is 00:35:01 but she's got her place for her son in England which is mad. That's mind-blowing. They've kept it open. So when he's here, he goes to that school. Yeah, that's really good. Very good.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Oh, it's interesting though. I just think all the time that we spend together, I know that you have to learn. Well, the same is working. It's the same as then you've got to go get a fucking full-time job. That's what I mean. No, but you're earning money to live. I know, but again, even...
Starting point is 00:35:29 It's an education. You won't get the job. If you don't get the job, if you don't get the education, it all goes to handing out. Not necessarily. Well, no, you do, of course it is necessarily. You're talking about learning to write earlier. Yeah, it's all the same thing.
Starting point is 00:35:38 No, but not necessarily, the education doesn't mean... It does. It makes you all, it makes you well-rounded. You like to, we all like to know things about things, as many things as possible. It's quite nice. Yeah, but you can learn that by not... It's only because we know school.
Starting point is 00:35:53 We know you get to an age. You go to school. There are some people that would home school. homeschool or do other and you're learning in a different way. It's just a different way of learning. That's all. I know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:04 No, I get that. Lovely Harry, who listens to the pod, sent us a message. He said, so you, Els and Roro was in my dream last night. Oh, cracking. I remember being at your house and also at a meeting sort of thing. I can't remember the synopsis, but you was all in it. How weird are dreams? I can remember waking up and remembering it all.
Starting point is 00:36:24 And now it's gone. Maybe something to discuss how strange. dreams can be. Oh, hurry. Don't get me started. You're a dreamer, aren't you? I'm a massive dreamer. Yeah, and I'm the same.
Starting point is 00:36:36 I wake up and I can remember it like I'm living it again and then it just goes, you should write them down. But some of them I feel better. I don't know, I'd rather just forget that. I have some weird dreams. Maybe we should do that though. Maybe we could do a little seg. Definitely a segment on dreams.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Yeah, write some down. Well, no, when you wake up, write it down on your iPhone. Your notes I'll write it down on my note pad Then we can discuss it I think dreams is a really good one Really good one I dream every night
Starting point is 00:37:07 Without fail What that you remember Do you? Mm-hmm Oh I don't No, don't I can't tell you the last dream I had That I remembered
Starting point is 00:37:16 Yeah, every night And mine usually there's only two I'll save it Won't do it now Let's have a listen to this a minute Oh my gosh, Nat, how funny I'm coming. She's doing bath time.
Starting point is 00:37:29 I was just talking to my friend, because basically I'm going to be singing and doing my first gig down at Locke and Late in Spellbrook, like Bishop Storfford. And anyway, it turns out she's related to the, basically, long story, my friend's related to one of the girls who owns the Locke and Lato.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Anyway, and then she goes, oh, and on that note, she goes, I'm going to South Mill in October. My friend's on a podcast. I was like, oh my God. I was like, hang on. a minute. I went, so am I. So it turns out, long story short, what's small world? She is friends with Rovo. What's small world? And I was like, oh my god, this is so funny. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:38:07 small world basically. It was just funny that two of the, I think I might be psychic. It made me laugh. I thought, I thought, you might know her as well. Michelle Cruz, her name is. Oh, no, she's got a different name actually to the girls. The other girl is Ella Cruz. Brilliant. And Gary, her partner is Gary Cruz. So Michelle Cruz. Who is that then? It is Michelle Cruz. They are married and she's my best friend.
Starting point is 00:38:33 A school mum, I believe. Oh, right. So they come into the Stortford show. I needed someone to go. That is one of our lovely listeners, Jess, who always messages in. And she is family with Steve. Cordray. Oh, stop it.
Starting point is 00:38:48 This is the, I think, the daughter-in-law. Yes, small world, small world. Small world. Very, very short. I'm a show of friends from the school. Yeah, from the school. I'm guessing Ella,
Starting point is 00:38:59 which is... Brilliant. His Alfie's age. Yeah, gosh, that is not cool. I'm part in bath time. It's aging it. Oh. I don't...
Starting point is 00:39:07 I'm not on the shower now. No, I'm not on the shower. No, not too young. No, sometimes I like it because I'm like, that kills half hour. Let's get up and do it. But sometimes I'm like, oh, it can be the pits. Well, also because I'm at that,
Starting point is 00:39:21 I'm not saying I would ever leave, but you get to an age where you can, sort of nipping and out the room, I'm at the stage where I need to be in there. Oh, yes. Like a hawk. Yes. So I'm confined to that space and he's sweating and I'm getting splashed.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Yeah. And I'm, I shower now. Shower them down. Well, they don't like a bath. That makes me sad. Well, they will have a bath, but we just have time. Especially now, I think, because we're having a bit late at night, you just want to get and wash and ready for bed.
Starting point is 00:39:52 I mean, they're having a wash and that's the main thing. That's sort of better than what I do. Hi now, it's Joe in Hitchin. Well, usually in Hitchin today. Little glass of rosé on the balcony in Koss, if you don't mind. Stunning. But I wanted to say, so I'm on holiday, having a lovely time. And but every time I get in the pool, all I can think about is Roro,
Starting point is 00:40:15 we're in in the pool, and I literally looking around the pool, all the people are in, thinking, you just don't know we in this pool. And I was going to say. And this often happens to me. Stuff I hear on the pod and we go about in normal life and think, oh, God, like when I'm cooking and I think I just cannot eat from the tomato. Chew, I can't do it. Yeah, so anyway, I just thought I'd let you know that that's what I've been thinking about on my lovely holiday.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Yeah, you kind of ruined swimming pools for me, Roe Roe. Not going to lie to you. Obviously, you know people do it, but I mean, you think, do they really do it? You think kids or whatever, but anyway, I'm going to stop. Much love to all of you. You can't wait to catch up on some pods because with a nice. nine-year-old on holiday. I've obviously not been able to listen to anything. So sending you all lots of love from Sunny Cos. Bye.
Starting point is 00:41:02 Oh, lovely. We're running people's holidays. Sorry, babes. And if they say they don't do it, they're fucking... My friend today said that her daughter was in a swimming lesson and she said, Mommy, I need to get out and have a way. And I thought, wow, that is... I think kids, that is their natural... I'd be like, just walk on. We're on with it. Get out, get all wet, soggy swimming,
Starting point is 00:41:24 costume down. I was impressed. I remember saying that to Ruby before and then she stood up and started a wheel and I said, no, you sit down. You just move around. In fact, you do it whilst moving, swim and we. Oh my God. We've got unbelievable stuff. We're away in Montenegro at the moment on our family's summer holiday.
Starting point is 00:41:47 For extra bonus material and especially our holiday special, go to Patreon. Have a little listen. up. It's not a lot. A couple of cups of coffee a month. And there's a lovely special of us being on holiday. Cheers all. Oh, girls, I am just listening to today's pod. And I feel you on this fucking plain stuff. So just flew back on Monday from Portugal, a little girl's trip. And I had some hand luggage that was too big. So they charged me 70 euros. But I had the fucking dusty to have a three-hour. delay on the plane so you think so it's okay for a three hour delay and then you want to charge me fucking 70 euro for me big bag oh my god i was raging not only was it late at night after a
Starting point is 00:42:40 girl's trip so i was pretty fucking battered anyway they don't want to charge me that oh honestly absolutely human so yeah they all do take the fucking piss why sorry that was very very bad language, but as you can tell, still raging and that just brought it all back. So, happy Thursday. Sorry, girls, me again. Just got to the end of the pod. Maria, a question for you as you were just in Santorini. What did you think of the people queuing to have photos in certain areas? Now, don't get me wrong, I got photos of those areas, but I skipped the queue because I didn't want to be in the actual picture. I just want to wanted to take a picture of the scenery. I literally seen a couple of people in these cues as people
Starting point is 00:43:35 are queuing and these people are having full on photo shoots and taking about 20 minutes to take one picture. What is that about? One is rude. Everybody else is waiting and two, who do you think you are? But yeah, I am with Elia who said, just go and enjoy. yourself what is about all of these pictures? Don't get me wrong. I'd love a holiday picture but enjoy yourself because that's what it's about. When are you ever going to look back on all these pictures and all these videos that you spend hours on doing? Honestly, blows my mind. That is actually crazy. Cueing. I didn't see it. Oh really? So there was a couple of... Maybe where you were, you sort of got those views at all points. So maybe that's what I mean.
Starting point is 00:44:26 I'd love to know where that was. There was a couple of spots we did bypass and there were crowds of people and they might all be at the front of the thing to get the photo. But again, I just lent over and took a photo. I didn't want to do that. But what I had seen on social media
Starting point is 00:44:44 and I was a little bit nervous about that, the hordes of people, didn't really see it. Well, that's good. So yeah, I don't know if I bypassed it or just didn't go to those spots. I have to tell you. It blew my mind on holiday. What?
Starting point is 00:45:00 In the amount of places. So we went to Budva Old Town, beautiful, very, very picturesque. There were people getting out tripods, couples, tripods, timoring it, doing that. People love photos. But what are you doing? Like you said, how often are you looking at? People love photos. No, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:45:19 No, but there's loving photos. You just, yeah, you take a little quick photo. You might never be there again. What do you mean? Tricod. Right. People love it now. Take a photo on the scenery.
Starting point is 00:45:29 We know you were there. They took the photo. But then there was a little boy who obviously did not care, doing a full-on photo shoot with his mum. And I have to say the mum obviously liked to take care of herself, if you want to say that. Obviously, he's quite a lot of work done. Yeah, just.
Starting point is 00:45:49 All to get the best photo to post on Instagram. That's all it is. It's not remembering. But they were having a meal. No, they were doing it for Instagram, definitely. But again, you just take a photo. It's natural. You take a couple and then you get on with it.
Starting point is 00:46:02 You're not standing there 20 minutes having a photo shoot. Oh, no, I don't get it. Wild. All of the pictures. And then Mark went up some steps. I was like, I'm not going up there. It's too hot. Him and Joni went up.
Starting point is 00:46:15 And he came down. He said, I'm sweating. He said, there is a woman laying. There's a tripod on her own, and she's laying on a ledge where there's a 100 foot drop. Perfect. To get a risk in your life, to get a shot of her by the mountains or whatever.
Starting point is 00:46:33 He said, I can't believe what I've just seen. Yeah, it's mad. It's everywhere you go. It's the same as us going to set festival on Friday. We got one, sorry, was that my phone voice? Did you get that? We took like one selfie, maybe, like, we barely took any photos. No.
Starting point is 00:46:51 And there are people there just posing all day long. It's wherever you go. Festival, it's, you know, you're trying to walk somewhere and people are having photo shoots. It's, we talk about it all the time, isn't it? But it is like been... I just think, enjoy it. It's like us on Friday.
Starting point is 00:47:08 We barely had a photo. I looked at my phone. One video is me holding it down here where I've gone to do a video and forgotten because I'm having such a good time. But I know I had a good time. That's right. I took a few videos for my friend who loves Tim,
Starting point is 00:47:23 so I did that. So I've got those. But I'm never going to look back at them. I did the other. I did the others. Excellent. But only because I put it on Instagram, but I'm not going to look back at them.
Starting point is 00:47:33 I remember taking fucking videos of fireworks, oceans and mail going, what are you doing? Have I ever looked at the fireworks ever again? Yeah, the fireworks displays, people taking pictures blows my mind. It's for Instagram. It isn't too key.
Starting point is 00:47:48 I've never taken a photo. I've never taken a photo. But even like, but then sometimes if I'm looking at stuff on social media, like of the festival and I'm re-watching some videos. I'm like, oh, it's amazing. Those people didn't take that. I wouldn't get to see it.
Starting point is 00:48:00 I know, but you wouldn't. That's because you've just been in like a month's time. You won't be interested. I'm sorry. The only thing I like looking at photos of is my son. I thought he was going to say myself. But I like, you know, the photos we've got of like him five days old. But even that now, so like I did a post for our feet.
Starting point is 00:48:21 But again, he's not even on social media. I'm doing it for myself. I put a post up, celebrating my seven years of my son. I like that. But again, I'm like, there's so many photos. I'm not going back in the archives to get photos when he's younger. And you feel that pressure. No.
Starting point is 00:48:39 That's why you're 40 if I thought, I said to you, Maria, you've got, I got, you did. No, I think it went on that. This is rude. Oh my God. It's fucking blowing up balloons for your birthday. Fucking Fredding fruit. Well, I do one for you.
Starting point is 00:48:52 Photos. Oh yeah, sorry. Maria, we were quite busy. We were busy. And again, it's the pressure then. That's what I mean. Yeah, no, there's no time. And bearing in mind, I did a whole photo banner thing.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Yes. So I'd already scoured through all the photos. Don't worry, I'll do you a belated one of all of them photos. I'll do a little thing. Real. It's too much. Yeah, I didn't post. For Joni's birthday, I don't post.
